40 Answersto the Activity 5. (The summary of the paragraph) Driver distractions are a factor in 25% to 50% of all crashes. Driving ability is affected due to distractions. Hands-held and hands free cell phones are both dangerous when used while driving, as drivers are most distracted while having a deep conversation. Possible solutions for distracted driving include public education campaigns and installing distraction free electronic devices. To avoid being distracted while driving, become conscious of possible situations, taking time to cool off before driving angry excited and pull over somewhere safe to answer phone calls or have someone else in the car make / take calls. Answersto the Activity 6. (The summary of the paragraph) On February 1 st, police began issuing fines under a new Ontario Law that prohibits motorists from using hand-held devise while driving. Drivers making a 911 call or using a cell phone while pulled over or legally parked are exempt. A 1997 study showed that 24% of 699 people who were involved in traffic accidents had been using a cell phone in the 10 minute preceding the crash. A 2004 study found that more than 30 countries around the world have prohibited use of cell phones while driving. Drivers reaction times are 18% slower while using a cell phone and transport Canada estimates that drivers are 4 times more likely to be in an accident while using a cell phone. Page 40

41 Answersto the Activity 7. If I were the driver of car A, I would turn my right signal ON and approach the green light slowly. I would then check my blind spots to right for safety before turning. Car B is making the turn wider and also delaying or blocking the motorcyclist path. Car B should be by making the turn from the 2 nd lane. If I were the driver of car B, I would have switched into the far right lane before approaching the light. I would then make the turning just like car A did. If I absolutely had to make the turn from the second lane, I would wait until car A had already made the turn. I would then make sure that no cars were coming from the first lane before turning into from the first lane before turning into the right lane on the north to south bound road. Page 41

42 Answersto the Activity 8. When the colours of the lights are Green in east-west directions and Red for south-north directions, motorcycles a & b that are waiting for their left turn must yield to the oncoming traffic as well as the vehicles turning to the right. If there is no oncoming vehicles or right turn vehicles then the both motorcycles can complete their left turn with caution. When the colours of the lights are becomes Yellow (sometimes known as Amber) motorcycles a & b have the right of way and are able to make a left turn. If Motorcycle b observe that Peach colour vehicle turning to its right illegally, still for the safety reason b should yield to the Peach colour vehicle. Now the west-east directions become Red. The motorcycle c is making its left turn from south-west direction. The possibilities can be the traffic light may have advanced left signal or flashing green lights. After advanced signal becomes Green, then the Yellow vehicle is making its right turn. The blue car comes through the intersection before the light turns red. The yellow car has already begun to make a right turn, so it accelerates slightly to ensure that it will make its turn before the light turn red. The purple car has already made its right turn before the light turns yellow. It has turned into the right one and will switch into the left lane so that it will be in it s into the left lane so that it will be in its proper driving lane. Page 42

44 Answersto the Activity 9. At railway crossing cross buck sign means to slow down, look, listen and be prepared to yield to an approaching train. A cross buck is the most common warning device at a highway/railway crossing. It takes up to 2 kilometres, an average train travelling 100 km/h, pulling approximately 8,000 tons of freight, to STOP after initiating an emergency brake application. When the train approaching, it is very hard to judge its speed and distance. An optical illusion makes the train appear to be farther away and moving slower than it actually is. When approaching a crossing without flashing lights, gates or bell, slow sown, look and listen for a train and be prepared to stop. When approaching a highway/railway crossing, look in both direction and listen for signals that may indicate the approach of a train. If you are in the middle of a crossing and the gate lowers keep going. Do not get trapped. If the vehicle is stuck on the tack, get out and away from the tracks immediately and call proper authority for help. The primary contributing cause of vehicle-train collisions is driver error. When approaching a crossing and the lights flash, the gates begin to come down and a train is coming, must stop prior to entering the crossing. If the gates stay down after a train has passed on a crossing with more than one set of tracks, means another train is coming. A train cannot avoid a collision if the locomotive engineer applies the brakes as soon as he sees a vehicle stalled on the tracks. Virtually all collisions between a vehicle and a train are preventable. A STOP sign at a highway/railway crossing means the same thing as a STOP sign at any other highway intersection. The number posted below a cross buck shows how many tracks there are at the crossing. It is illegal to drive around crossing gates. Page 44

49 Answersto the Activity 13. Based on Traffic Injury Research 2001 on average, 577 people are killed each year in Canada as a result of collisions involving heavy trucks. In 2001, of all the people killed in crashes with heavy trucks, 87% were occupants of other vehicles, pedestrians or bicyclists. 70% of all Canadians believe truck drivers are highly skilled professionals, and most recognize the commercial traffic on the roads. Defensive driving is operating a motor vehicle so as to prevent collisions despite conditions and despite any actions by other drivers or pedestrians. Defensive driving requires alertness, knowledge, foresight, judgments and skill. _Defensive driving rules are aim high in steering, get a big picture, keep your eyes moving, leave yourself an out and make sure they see you.
